how long approximately are those saber hilts? I'm just curious how they compare to the Anakin FX version that I have. I know that mine is not as authentic, as it's a little bigger to accomodate the electronics, but I was curious just what the difference really was. The Anakin FX saber hilt is just a shade over 12 inches...
I'm sure a Stormtrooper blaster has got to be on tap as we speak...
Cool!!! Now I won't have to sell my bodily fluids to afford one!!! ;D :D ;)
Holy Crap! :o $7,201.00. (http://www.snowtroopers.ca/images/faintthud.gif)
Im actually pretty flattered that you said "metal grate", as that was the look I was going for! Its actually just plastic! :)
Oh, this is one sweet prop!! It's pretty hefty (I haven't weighed it but I guess it's around 25 pounds) and the detail is outstanding. I wasn't too thrilled about the target in the scope at first but now I like it. Click on the blaster album in the bottom right of the link:

Mini Rock, are those IKEA Billy shelves you have your pieces displayed on? (the shelves with the corner unit)
Those are fan made wallpapers that have been floating around the net for a while.
Nice comparison pics Beth. Glad I parted with my OWK AFBB for the OWK ROTS. I couldn't read what number you got though. :)
Last I heard, they were going to retail for $899. I'm sure you'd be able to find it for less though.
BDW, I'm also looking forward to the newer style cases. I've managed to get enough of the new style plaque holders to go with them too.
Regarding the plaque holders, I'll find out by Friday if I can get more; and, I'll be sure to let you know. :)

I picked up a Code 3 mini ESB poster for you this weekend, it's half the size of the other posters. If you're interested, I'd be happy to trade it for some plaque stands. PM me if you're still wanting the poster, we can work out something.
Jedi costumes?!
No stormie outfits! :P
It is an amazing looking saber, no doubt about it! I wonder what the next LE to be retired will be?
Yeah, hoping for my yoda saber to arrive soon as well, very anxious for it
Hey jadesfire, what is your avatar picture? I have always wondered. :)
The Shock Trooper and Special Ops Trooper were each $50 more than the standard white clone, and both have presold out.
Amy from MR just confirmed on Rebelscum a Qui-Gon saber in 2006!!!!

Sweet, that's the green one we've been waiting for. Much as I prefer OT stuff, this will be fine by me. I think the hilt will be much better suited than the ROTJ Luke was. This is good news. :)
Hey everyone,
Does anyone happen to have any additional information as to when the Sidious LE will be shipping besides "June"? The reason I ask is that I am beginning to see the LE's pop up on Ebay, not simply pre-orders, but the actual saber. By the way, I received my Obi Ep III today #737. What a beautiful piece. Thanks for the advice everyone!

I think he is refering to the Limited Edition one not an f/x.
I recently got an e-mail to join the MR collector society. One of the "perks" will be to get the Darth Maul mini-saber.
There's also various gift certificates that can be redeemed for other MR items, like $100 for a replica....might have to get one of the Full sized Obi-Wan sabers! ;D
Too bad they don't have any of the AOTC ones left. :-[
I will be receiving my Sideous saber next week. :)

Actually dude the $100 coupon is for a studio scale replica (ex. Snowspeeder.) I still have the flyer from C3 and I'm staring right at it. You get 2 $50 coupons toward LE or SE sabers.

I'm hoping to use the two $50 coupons towards one purchase. Hope they let me.
I also noticed as soon as I purchased my Collector's Society membership, there's a gold mini Obi-Wan saber for sale....pretty freakin' sweet!
Ok, I might need the help of a HyperSpace member here. I realize it's a wee tad hypocritical to ask for help, rather than joining, but I seldom see any benefit of the whole HS thing.
It turns out SWS.com may have a helmet exclusive really shortly (http://www.starwars.com/hyperspace/about/news/news20050628.html) Sad to say, but I might have spent too much money on a special ops helmet :-[ so the chance to get a helmet at regular retail price is really quite appealing.
So, who'd like to volunteer ;)
So I'm the only idiot chasing these helmets then...
Does anyone remember how much the .45 Yoda lightsaber for SDCC is supposed to go for?
You'd also have some issues with it getting to Canada. I'm not even sure if you can legally bring it over the border.
Two more 1:1 scale clone helmets will be on tap as well.:-\ Please, please tell me this includes the SWS.com helmet due out some time this month? I'm short only one helmet if my EE order comes through. I can probably tolerate two more, but three might stretch it.
Web forums for Master Replicas fans represents 1% of their customers. That 1% generates 90% of their feedback on the line. MR frequents many of the boards.Sad to not see anyone over here, but aside from the FX stuff there doesn't seem much interest at JD. I know Beth and Adam do lots of props but they address that over at RS mostly. Sadly I find myself tuning in there again after all this time, but I only hit the Props forum and just read rather than participate. RS is RS regardless of the specific forum.
FX sabers with removable blades are “so close you can taste it.” They are in the prototype stage.I'm not sure if this makes me happy or nervous? Are we talking a higher end piece than a regular FX and at what pricepoint? It would be awfully cool to have a high end hilt that can have a blade attached and light up, sort of the ultimate saber. But I have no desire to replace my FX sabers that I currently have (in hand or not).

Helmet is sold out. Like to personally thank all the RS members for buying two so they can sell one on ebay. *******.
Can you enter the contest as many times as you want, or is there a limit to just once?
Thanks again for the info Beth.
Man I hope I don't get called in on Wednesday!
Hey Beth....glad you were able to pick one up. Welcome back, and how did the move go?
I think you could've seen say a 10% cut in the FX sabers and possibly some of the LE items that have been on the site for quite a while.
I would've jumped at buying an FX saber from the site if they went on sale.

Also I am new to this site... How do I put a picture by my name.
Hello, Do we know any of the release dates for any of the things coming out this year. P.s.jadesfire very nice collection.
The Hyperspace/SWS.com exclusive Star Corps helmet (http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=104074&ReferrerID=CJADBN-00001) has begun shipping - check out these (http://www.rpf.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=101869&st=0) pics:

I got my shipping notification today and it will be here on Wednesday.
The bad news is that I fly to New York on Tuesday. :-\
Actually, my guess was the Death Star trench. However, a Y-Wing (http://www.rebelscum.com/potf2/POTF2ywingflight.jpg) definitely seems like a possibility, but that 2nd pic has me stumped. I'm not quite sure where it would fit.
You guys are seriously trying to guess what this is???

Save the sarcastic and rude comments for somewhere else.
You're making a big deal out of nothing. Anyway, they posted two more pictures:
But maybe you're right. Maybe it's not the Y-Wing. ::)
I think you could [have] possibl[y] one of the biggest dicks on this board.
Anyone been reading on Scum about the Vader helmets? Practically everyone who has received one received it damaged or scuffed in some way! Go check out the thread in the Props forum. What a disaster, especially on something that expensive.
Shocking! I never expected a Y-Wing! OMG! They really do know how to fool a guy! ::)
It's times like this that it's easy to see why so many people respected you back during your "Durge" phase...

Carefull, he might think you're implying that people respect him now, which is far from the case.
;D
Besides, I have to spend money on a 62 inch LCD TV and an engagement ring pretty soon. :D

I was wondering if anyone had been receiving final edition size plaques. I received one for my elite edition Luke Jedi saber, but haven't seen any others. I emailed MR and they said they would be coming out automatically. Anyone been receiving any that I may have missed?
Are they making them for all the LE's now that final editions have been announced?
but maybe I can find someone who needs one.
Is it free? :D
I assume the Boba Fett rifle goes on sale at 9 AM PST? I have an all day meeting that day, but we get a break for lunch around that time (12 PM EST) so hopefully I'll be able to run to the computer to get the preorder in. I have all the blasters so far and I've been happy with each one.
I really hope they keep putting the numbers on only one plaque like they did with the Qui-Gon saber.
So that's the plaque that is waiting for me back in Michigan. I just got an email from my girlfriend at my old office stating I had another small MR package and I was too lazy to look up what one this should be.
Anyone ordering the "new" Han Solo blaster? ::)
I don't collect props, but why are there two higher end Falcons out? Code 3 has theirs and now MR?
Is there a big difference in size or detail?
Anybody receive their Falcon yet? I just got my shipping notice I am wondering who is actually shipping this item. The tracking number was four letters which does not corrispond to any shipping company that I know of.

I read over on RS that Phillip received his by DHL.
Anyone else going for the Stormtrooper helmet??
Is this helmet limited at all? I mean other than the giclee that comes with the first 500 orders?
(my head's a little bigger than most, I reckon)?
>:( IT Sucks! I was really hopin' for a Qui-Gon Fx :P
From an FX Saber fan's perspective, it sorta sucks... However I have a feeling someone else will pick up the ability to make these, at the very least, if not all the other stuff MR made that nobody was really buying much.
I will never see my full-size C3PO
I will never see my full-size C3PO
Maybe from Sideshow.
I will never see... Chewie's bowcaster :'(
The Mara Jade saber is up for order today for CS members. $300 shipped and it is a signature edition limited to 750.
I am praying that the TPM Kenobi FX saber gets made.
Should be fun today about 12 PM EST. I wonder if that third server will make a big difference.
I am praying that the TPM Kenobi FX saber gets made.
I have been praying for the same thing, but this late in the year, I doubt that they would go through the trouble...
MR has been given permission to make both the Ep. I FX Kenboi and a FX Dooku. If they can get it finished by years end, then we will get them. I have seen picks of a Dooku prototype as well as the Kenobi one.
Needless to say, I saw this on display at the Master Replicas Party and when I got back I cancelled my order. While it is cheap in monetary value, it also comes off cheap in it's display value to me. The packaging is everything, and I think they dropped the ball.
Those look so cool....but there's no way I could get them. Even in this huge new house, I don't think I have the space for them! :D
I'd freak out way more if a 5 year old was playing with a vinyl cape Jawa. Those sabers/hilts are tough. I think the helmets could sustain a bit too.
I was kind of cheesed with the battle damaged 501st helmet, essentially doubling the size of 501st helmets available and penalizing those of us that sat and waited a bloody year for the clean version. >:(

I don't think that is as bad as all the super sales they have had on items that have shipped in the past year, penalizing us loyal customers who perordered on the first day and paid full price.
The last MR helmet was just announced. They will be doing a 750 piece production of the Shadow Utapau Trooper bringing the total number of Clone helmets to eight.
I would have much rather had an OT helmet, but I'll certainly pick this one up to complete the set.
Thanks for the heads-up on the stormtrooper helmet Chris. I just checked my order at MR since I didn't see a pending charge and I show they have my order as "invalid card number". Nice.....I guess I call tomorrow and see what the hell is going on. ::)
Anybody know where you can get a display case for the Full size Darth maul? My friend bought one recently but he didn't realize it didn't have a case to go over the stand.
Oh yeah, that's annoying. Hopefully they didn't give yours away! Hehe...just kidding. ;)
Amy at MR said they would try charging cards for three weeks before cancelling orders. All unsold items are going to go to Lucasfilm, or so she thinks. It looks like there is not going to be a giant sell off at the end.
I was kind of hoping for a last minute sell-off. I have been holding out on Fett's piece. I really don't have the room for it but I should probably just bit the bullet and order it. *sigh*
Tim tried to find a Mace Windu saber for me, but couldn't find one anywhere, so he bought me a Yoda from Spencer's, $79.99 on sale. Got it home, wouldn't work. The blade didn't light up at all and the sound kind of cut in and out. Took it back and tried another one. That one the blade flashed on once, then immediately went dark and wouldn't light up again. Same sound issues, too. So, no Yoda saber for me. :(
Wow-that is one heckuva display!!! Any ideas on how to display the print? I was thinking of getting it framed but then I kind of like the way it came.....
Very cool set-up! If I were to get into these I think I'd also be in divorce court though! ;D
Well, my Mara Jade saber should be shipping this week as well as my last mini helmet. Man, I am gonna miss Master Replica. I was so hoping for Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber.
